I am so sad that this is a short play because even though it works beautifully as a short play, I really want to read the next scene! But as a short play, it's funny, it's real, it's relatable, and I love the characters and their differences and their relationship, and all the things they want, and all the great obstacles against them - I even worried that they might break up in the ten minutes I spent with them - and I love the ending! I'm totally satisfied, but I guess I just wanna go to Italy now.

Fabulous! Such a wonderful piece that gets it so right! These sisters are tough for very good reasons, and their actions so well-motivated! It's funny and dark and would be a super festival show! Great roles for women too.

Fascinating play about intimacy and vulnerability. Gardner's work is always so raw and real. Excellent work for 2 actors.

OH WOW, this kid kills me! What we do to ourselves! How we - as children - interpret the world. So brilliantly written in this intense monologue that I really wish is getting a whole play to go with it, cause it's a thing. A big thing. We all need to read this - or at least I did. Like you read it and you keep going, you see what he did there... see that! Effing awesome, Arthur!

A fascinating fantasy about Edward Snowden and his torturous wait in a Russian airport. Hufker displays some wild imagination in this intense and destabilizing drama where everything and everyone comes to life in Snowden's mind to challenge our most basic concepts. There is enormous potential for the staging of this play - I have wanted to see it since I first encountered it with GPTC.

Violet is my favorite color. This poetic play is an allegory and fantasy that is beautifully written to move us to a deeper understanding of vast questions like, is it better to stay safe in our shells or shall we dare to be the agents of our own destinies? The Snail Daughters will inspire! For as they say, "we shouldn't feel wicked for wanting to try."

Raw and brilliant way to tell it like it is. Alex Lin uses enormous style to serve her rage, and I admire the hell out of it.

Wow! My new favorite ten minute play! Optimistic Nihilism and "I was gonna get ripped..." this is funny and dark and hugely silly - who wouldn't want to see this? Chickens running around without heads? Love Love Love this play! I wish I'd written it!

They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and this seems to hold up in Haas's version of the original couple, even after 300 years. Adorable play with a very clear conflict, witty dialogue, beautiful world-building, and I love how the backstory bleeds in with some tender bitterness. Haas is such a great talent, and I love a good retelling or forwarding of any myth. Beautifully done!

A marvelously bizarre play about the power of language and the way we are called to our futures and pasts through place, objects, dreams and imaginings. One person's nostalgia is another person's noose. What a fabulous show this would be to work on!
